A TIGSBIntq t FRn. 2. Some French Papers, for instance the daffier rra08449 give some enormous stateMentrespeeting the education of. the Grand Duke Constantine, who has soilobly refused a Crown. The two Grand Dukes Alexander and Constantine were edu cated together, under the direction . of Fielil-Marshal Count Toltekow. Each of the Princes had besides a particular Sub. tutor and four Cavaliers attached to hii.aervice. The Sub-tutor of the Grand D u ke Conitantine was the Baron of Oaten Sacken, formerly Russian Ambaisador in Denmark, and, in his youth, Cavalier of the Grand Duke Paul, Afterwards Emperor. One of the Cavaliers' of Prince Constantine was Lieut.-Colonel naldwin, a Greek of Thessaly, a man equally distinguished by his education and his knowledge ; he was specially commie ; Coned to instruct the Prince in the Greek language. After the death of this respectable - Officer, another Greek Cavalier was employed for the same purpose. The duties of M. liourouto, now Lieut.-General did not commence till after the education ofthe Grand Duke was finished. They acquired him the ho nourable confidence of the Prince, which he enjoys, but which had no connection' whatever with the duties of a teacher. These were confided exclusively for ten • years to the same Frederick Cesar de la liarpe, of Rolle, who was the Tutor of the Em- Peror Alexander; and his constant care to cherish brotherly af fection between these two Princes, probably contributed to pro duce and maintain that perfect harmony which always subsisted between them. • (From the Lausanne Gazette.) The Grand Duke Michael is about two,years younger than the Emperor Nicholas, and was brougl!t up with him. After completing his education, he travelled under the care of Gene ral Aletinsky. On his return, he began to serve as General, received'the command of a diVision of the Guards, and directed his attention chiefly to the artillery. He married the Grand bu shes* Helena, a Princess of Wurtemburg, a lady of the greatest merit, who has acquired jiis entire affection. The Emperor Alexander has had a magnificent palace built for this august couple, in the front of his gardens, which embellishes that quarter, and has been the occasion of build ing several new streets, which facilitate the communications b etween the different parts of the city. The Grand DUlce has resided in it since the beginnin,g of last summe r . Thi s p a l ace i s admired for its facade, the iron railing attic court yard, and its internal decorations. The Grand Duke Michael is a very handsome man, with 144 open and ingenuous countenance ; very pleasing and af fable i n his manners, and of an upright and sincere charac. tor, H e has a very decided taste for the military sciences, ill, which, as in other particulars, ho resembles the Grand bake Constantine. He is often met'alone in his Droschki, going to make nnexpected visits to the establishments under his orders, or to the barracks of the regiments of his division..... Re is Perfectly revered in the service, in which he displays in deistigable zeal and activity. Thus ltewill be the right hand of tbe Present E mperor, w h o has confided to him t h e E ngineering 4f e Partment of the Mines. - riles of West India Journals, from the (lit. fe rent. Islands were received this - morning, frOm —ll rn We have made the following extracts:— Il AttnAnocs, DEC. 21.—The following is an extra c t f rom : the I N-book nf the mail.boat Eleanor, Captain Viroodthorper— flundaY, Nov. 27, at 11 A. as,, spoke the French ship Olive, ; 4 nrdeaux, from the coast of Africa, bo u nd to P orto Rico i t h a cargo of slaves ; s h e h a d sailed with 350 on b oard, and 01 °411 7- Th e 'C apta i n and 'Mate had also died, and severa l o f e e telv and others were sick. They were short of provisions— Pared them six fowls and seven pieces of beef, at noon, 16 deg. t ' gin e N., 65 de g. - 30 • min. W." re It is thus we see, alm ost be our° eYes, how the efforts of the British Government to put aF nala the dal blp to the traffic in slaves are di r ectly coun t eracte d by ! Y abuse of the continental flags. All the activity and 4ti°ll * of ouc cruisers are quite insufficient, not merely to 4 44 thii existence, but even to arrest the progress of the inhu man trade. From Cape Palmas to the River Congo it is carried on with increasing vigour, and the wretched subjects of King Cootry, King Pepple, and King Cole, are driven off to an igno , minions sale, and subjected to horrors of a middle passage, as shocking and horrible as ever the ready pen of au Abolitionist has described, or his fancy invented. It is lamentable to reflect upon the waste of human life which is mem. : sioned by this sort of commerce; and, regarded in a political point of view, the conclusion is forced upon , us that foreign Cabinets will never be disposed sincerely to co-ope rate with England in its final extinction. 'Many thousand Africans are imported yearly into their possessions abroad.— The undue advantage which their subjects thus acquire over the British Planter, enabling them to undersell him in the European market, is well appreciated ; and self-interest die= tates to them the necessity of 'preserving him at the greatest hazards. Where the whole British Navy united in protecting the slave laws from the violation of foreigners, it is doubtful whether its power would completely avail. The schemes of mercenary cupidity are organised with surprising ingenuity.— The strictest vigilance, the most watchful activity, will some.. times be over-reached and defeated._(Colonist. I3ARBADOES, Nov. 22.—Arrived his Majesty's ship Py ramus, Capt. Gambier, from Portsmouth. Dec. In.—Brig Elizabeth, from Liverpool, bound to Car. thagena. Dec. Majesty's 'ship Redpole, 32 days' passage and ship Thorne, from Liverpool. Dec. 30.—Ship Britannia, to M. Cavan and Co., arrived this evening -30 days froin Gravesend. ANTIGUA, JA>r. 3.—Two shocks of earthquake were expe rienced here yesterday morning; the first, which has exceeded in severity any that has been felt for some time past, occurred 'at a quarter before one ; and the second, which was slight, at a quarter after. Tamman, Nov. 23.--The fine ship Naparhna, Captain White, London, in endeavouring to get through the Boca on the night of Saturday last, struck on a reef of rocks. We un -derstand she is completely wrecked, but is in such a situation as to enable the crew, and those that went to her assistance, to strip her of her sails, mast, and rigging ; and we are also happy to state that some part of her valuable cargo is saved. ST.

The following are extracts:— We learn that the Liberator was in Puno on the 6th August, and that General Sucre had set out to meet him on the Ist July, at La Paz ; but we can scarcely reconcile geography or dates in this statement, La Paz being within the territories of Buenos Ayres, and Puno on the frontiers of Upper Peru. We announce with pleasure the arrival of the first body o f Colonists in our territory under the Agricultural Association established in London ;'they cannot be of Scotch families. PRICES CURRENT AT CARACCAB, Dec. 21—Coffee, 11 dollars per quintal ; Cocoa, 22 ; Indigo, 17 rs. per lb. ; Cotton, 12 ; llides, 14 dollars per quintal ; Sarsaparilla, per do. The question of the Currency WAS again under discussion in the House of Commons last night, and again ,every attempt was made to cover up the share the Ministers had in producing the evils .t._ _ the country is at present enduring. However, we are at last arrived, at one conclusion with referei.ce to the late panic, viz. that it has been destructive to the trade of the country; and fur ther, that it is still working in secret, and effect ing the ruin and overthrow of commercial houses, hitherto deemed too firm to be shaken. The word panic here must mean want of confidence n trade, and it is therefore just to inquire into the causes which produced this waut of con. fidence. Ministers, with their accustomed inge. nuity, endeavour to shift the responsibility from themselves, and therefore say, that it arose 'rem a wild spirit of speculation. Admitting for an instant, that a wild spirit of speculation was sufficient to have caused all the evil the commerce of England has of late endured, there must have been some cause or other that produced that wild spirit of speculation—and that cause can be'no other than a superabundance of capital. Superabundance of capital is clearly traceable to the measures of the Administration, and thus we come back to the point ; and we suppose, if we can make out this last assertion, that the blame must rest upon the shoulders of the Ministers, however unwilling, or however incapable, they may be to sustain the burden thus thrown upon len). W e believe, a few years ago, when Ministers were pressed on every side to reduce the public expenditure, and repeal a portion of the immense taxation that oppressed the country, they found themselves compelled to obey the voice of the public. The, readiest means of doing tills, and saving themselves and ftiends front the imme diate effects of national economy, was to reduce the interest of the National Debt, and the low price of agricultural produce at the time unluckily favoured the scheme. A simple reduc tion of the interest of the National Debt, without a corresponding reduction of the value of money, or the interest for the use of money, would have produced no effect, and the Government.there fore found itself compelled to apply to the Bank (the ever ready instrument of every ad ministration) to discount at 4 per cent. The effect of this measure was to throw into Atte market a large quantity of money, and thus, by the fact itself, and the addi tion to the circulating medium, the value of money was depressed, and value of stock in creased. Their next measure was to induce the Bank to discount at three months instead of two. Thus again the credit of the country was aug mented one half, for houses before accustomed to discount at three, now discounted at four and so the measure operated through every gradation of commerce, and at once threw into the Market still larger sums'of money. This influx of money was further increased .by the measures adopted by the Bank of lending money on mortgage and on deposits of stock.— The•interest of moitey thus lowered; the mer chants were compelled to seek some employMent for their capital, and if, in seeking for this em ployment, they did give way to a wild spirit of speculation, ivho were to blame but those whose measures, by depressing the value of money as a commodity,and preventing all hope of a valuable return by loans, or by the purchase of stock or other public securities, bad rendered it essential that some occuption should be, found for money in mercantile speculation. It is not, then, too much to.say, that to the policy and measures of the Government we owe the present disastrous state of the country, or to attribute to the Ministers the shock to which. the commercial credit of the country has been so cruelly exposed.—llad they acted honestly by the country, and when driven to the necessity of reducing the national expenditure, pruned off some of its exuberances in the higher departments of the State, instead of breaking their faith with the public creditor, it is easy to see this misfortune had never reached us. We had steered clear of the evil, and should not now have to deplore continued bankruptcies and continued insolvencies amongst the high as well as amongst the petty traders of the country. Through their culpable negligence and want of foresight has this affliction visited the country, and not, as they would wish it to be believed, to the speculations of merchants, however wild or however unproductive. Tit LouD CATANCELLOII.—The health of his Lordship, we are happy to say, is nearly re stored. Thu answers given this day were, " That his Lordship continued to improve ;" and at the House of Lords a confident expectation was held out that his Lordship would to-morrow take his seat at Lincoln's-Inn-Hull, for the purpose of disposing of some causes which press very hard. DOVER, FEB. 9.—His Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON, accompanied by Lord FITZROY SommtiET, and the other Members of the Em bassy to Petersburgh, arrived here this morning, at ten o'clock, .from Canterbury, under a salate from the Western Reights.--At eleven the party embarked in his Majesty's packet Puffy, Captain HAMILTON, for Calais; it was a beautiful day ; a large party bad assembled on the Pier, and the Noble Ekke was enthusiastically cheered as he quitted the harbour. The packet will arrive at Calais about ten o'clock this afternoon. Sailed the Britannia steam packet, BusncLL, for Calais, with passengers. THE SPIT.% MELDS WEAVE:RM.—The! LORD MAYOR has received the following note, inclosing the within-mentioned sum for the service of the tipitunields Weavers. The excellent Nobleman, who has so benevolently and largely contributed to the relief of the starving population of Spital tidds, has frequently transmitted MIME of money for the use of the distressed, to the Mansion- House : " my Loan, " flaky Castle, Feb 7. - " Although, from severe illness and confinement to my bed, it ie with great difficulty that I can write, I cannot refrain from endeavouring to conv e y to your Lordship the great sympathy that I feel for the extreme distress of the 1-31?italtichls weavers; than whom I am convinced a more honest, industrious, peace able, meritorious in time of riot, though suffering under priva tion and distress, class of the community, does not exi s t, a nd therefore have muc h sat i s f act i on in inclosing to your Lonlship Five Hundred rounds towards their relief. In sending this donation, I must give my opinion for their information, that the present distress, which also is heavily felt in other article. of our trade and manufactures, cannot be imputable to any measures which the present Administration has thought it right to propose and adopt, and that it is my firm conviction, that the steady perseverance of the Government in the littera! line of policy they are now pursu greatest and -most permanent , advantages to the country.---I my 1 have the hon our to be, Lord, y our Lordship's vety obedient humble servant, will be productive of the " DARLING TON." Yesterday nt two o'clock, u Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, in Downing-street, Which was attended by all the Cabinet Ministers, with the exception of the LORD CHANCELLOR and the Duke of WELLINGTON. The Council sat in close deliberation till past four o'clock. Yesterday Prince ESTERHAZY transacted busj ness at the Foreign Office. On Wednesday evening dispatches were sent off from the Foreign Office, for Mr. VAUGHAN, our Minister nt the United States. A King's Messenger was sent off last night, ►with dispatches to the lonian Islands. We are sorry to learn that Mr. Secretary CANNING has been confuted to his house in Down ing -street with a severe cold, and that he has con sequently been prevented from attending in his place in the House of Corrunnns. Yesterday afternoon, the Governor and Dc. Putt'-Governor of the Bank of England, after attending a meeting of the Bunk Directors, at the Bank of England, proceeded to the Earl of Layeßp o w s h ouse in Whitehall, where they had an inter v i ew w i th t h e E ar l o f Liverpool and the Chancellor of th e E xc h e quer, afte r the Noble- Earl and the aight lion.Geni4man had re t urne d from attending the Cabinet Council.

It is reported that on T ues d ay last, the - President of the United States transmitted to the Senate an Executive communi. nication on the subject of sending a diplomatic mission to Panama. Probably this fact may account for the considerable time spent on Executive business on Tuesday, by that body. CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS or THIS DAY.—The Re solution laid on the table yesterday, calling on the Department of State for a list of the printers of the U. S. laws, &c. was considered and passed. The Resolution laid on the table by Mr. Cooke, calling on the President of the United States, for a statement of the expences relating to certain Courts' Martial and Courts of Enquiry, was also considered and passed. Two bills from the Senate—one for the relief of Annadumford, and another fixing the salaries of the Secretary of the Senate, Clerk of tho !louse, and Con gressional Libra r i a n, were tw i ce read - and referred. ' The bill on the judiciary system was resumed in Committee, when Mr. Dorsey, of Maryland, rose, and oifered an extensive argu ment in its favour.. he was followeel by Mr. Williams, of N.,C., in defence of . the bill, and in reply to Mr. Mangum.--- Finally, on motion of Mr. Powell, of Virgini, the Committee rose, eke. and the House adjourned.—The Senate have ad journed over till Monday next. FROM NEW ORLEANS.---A New Orleans Paper of the I4th of December, says that two or three thousand bales of first quality cotton'had arrived within the last four days, and a sale had been made at 18 Cents, which was higher than the article was expected to bring during the season. It is remarked of this year's crop that at is cleaner than usual, owing to the favourable season for picking,and more abundant, but shorter in staple. CoMplaints are made of the scarcity Of beef in the New Orleatir market.

With • this machinery he propelled a boat on the Potomac, at the rate of three miles an hour, against the current. In 1783, he pa. tented his right in Virginia and Pennsylvania. In 178 he in vented a tube boiler (now called a generator,) of two inches in diameter, and had it in use on board his steam boat, apart'. cular description of which, with a drawing, is given in the Co- Itunbian 11Iagaxine for May, 1788, pruned in Philadelphia, by Spotteswood. TexxEssEE.-4n the year 1780, a . small colony of about 40 families, pnder the direction of J ames Robertson. :ttossed the mountains, and passing through a wilderness of 390 miles, settled on Cumberland riper, and founded the town of Nash ville. In _1782,: the Legislature of North Carolina appointed cOmmissioners to explore the western' part of the•• State; and to report to the succeeding Legislature which part was most suitable for the bounty lands promised to the officers and soldiers of the continental line. According to their re.: commendation, the Legislature, in 1783, laid off a' tr a ct of land on the Cumbe r l a nd river, t'or the discharge of the military Lunatics. This district included the infant colony at Nash ville, a small tract having been allotted tts each of the settlerS: In 1705 the inhabitants of this district, feeling sensibly the in:, convenience of a Government so remote as that in the capital of North Carolina, endeavoured to form an independent one, to which they intended to give the name of " the State of Franklin," but differing among themselves, the scheme was abandoned for a time. rn 1789, the Legislators of North ca.: rolina passed an Act ceding the territory to the United States, on certain conditions. Congress accepted the seAlon, and provided for its Government, by an Act undtr the title of the Territory of the United States south of the Ohio." Oa th e 11th of June, 1791, the President appointed Willhith Blount Governor of the territory, which dice ,he held during th e continuance of the territorial Governmint. Six years aft er . wards Tennessee was admitted as a sovereign state into the Union. On Wednesd a y evening about six o'clock, his Grace the Duke of WELtakrrom left his resi dence in Piccadilly, to proceed on his embassy to on his special m i ss i on to the Emperor, Bl. ieti) to rs cti . g g i l .

Captain Cathcart, (the Duke's Aide-de-camp), Lord Dunglas, Mr. Jerningliatn, Lord Francis Gower, (although not in his Grace's suite), Dr. ,Hume, Mr. Havilaud. the King's Messenger, and a German courier. Grace was to proceed to Dover, and to embark . mu board a steam-packet commanded by Captain Hamilton. THE THEATRE. COVENT•GARDEL—The Opera of Artaxerxes was performed last Right, when Mr. BILAIIAM appeared in the character of Arbaces.- His sing. ing, throughout the Opera, was in his finest man ner, and we need not further add, that it was inimitable.
